The Goat Pen

Just read Price's espn bio posted after his recent retirement and it mentioned his brief tenure as head coach of Alabama-Tuscaloosa.

Although the thread title is obviously incorrect, one can have sympathy for the attempt to erase such a sad chapter in the history of a once proud program. Penn State wil certainly attest to that sentiment.

No. The Mike Dubose debacle was mu have sadder, but he was a cos have at UA. Price never coached a game.

Say again? Breaking up..

The sheriff is..near??

IPhone. Auto correct. Not retyping. Consider it a word puzzle.

I can edit Wikipedia articles to say anything.

The second link admitted he never coached at Bama. Thanks for that one.

From the wiki article you posted, Rat:

Price was hired in December 2002 and fired in May 2003 without coaching an official game. He is not included in the official list of coaches because of this fact. [10]

Hey. I just Googled "Alabama Football Head Coaches" and that's where it led me.

heh. was reviewing the Something Forum list the other day and felt a little pity on the cobwebs draping this thread. Thanks for freshening it up a little prior to UF's beatdown Saturday.

It seemed only right to bring it back after a proper cooling off period, GG.

"Mike Price was never the Head Coach at Alabama"

Or, as they say in Alabama and Tennessee: MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKEEE PRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCEE!!!!!!

actually it was more like

at one point she and her female companion decided to add a little levity to the action: We started screaming 'Roll Tide!' and Price was yelling back, "It's rolling, baby - it's rolling!"

Funny thing how nobody expected the Price hire to be a glorious failure, yet people are on guard about a Lane Kiffin flame-out.

You just never know. Kiffin may settle in nicely and the tide may win 5 or 6 more national championships in the next two or three years.

LAAAAAAIIIIIINN KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's lowest common denominator stuff, tick. Disappointing. You're better than that.

At the bottom of AAs head stone it will read, "He loved Alabama Football, yet never embraced the Mike Price era."

All in fun, AA.

The wind blows strongest at the top.

And having fun with tide fuzzy-title-math is always de rigueur.

There is no Tide fuzzy math with NCs. That's little brother talk. There is one we claim we shouldn't, and a couple we don't that we perhaps should.

IIRC, one of the reasons for Mike Price's dismissal as Alabama's Head coach was he used his University of Alabama credit card to pay for his "date with Destiny." My questions have always been:

1.) how could he be fired from a job he never had, and

2.) why would the University of Alabama issue a credit card to a non-employee?
